The quest to banish damp continuous, this time the kitchen.
The original plan was to cut it back just the lower affected area and then plaster in lime.
However, the creative director thought I might be nice all back to stone.
(You can tell a previous gypsum based re-plaster bodge at the lower level compared what was lime at the top.
I think it finished up nicely once all chased and re-pointed (with lime of course).
The bits of plaster at the top and side had to remain because of power cables and the door on the right way is 1980's so will be a horrible breeze block construction.
My question is how to deal with the joint at the edges between the stone wall and the remaining plaster?
My current thought is to round over the edge with radius, but any comments, suggestions or abuse appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard B.
